Memory Text:




               “But  ye  are  a  chosen  generation,  a  royal


               priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;


               that ye should shew forth the praises of him


               who hath called you out of darkness into his


               marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).



               Reflections:




               Israel,  in  its  practice  of  faith,  failed  to  be  a


               “blessing to the nations.”  Read Genesis 12:1-3


               and recount the ways in which God has called


               you to be a blessing to your family, church and


               community.



               Thought Question:



               The Jews, with bright hopes, long awaited the


               first advent of Christ, yet they knew Him not.



               As you long await the Savior’s second advent,


               will you hear the words “well done” or “I knew


               you not”?
